The Rolling Stones' first concerts since 2007 are already causing controversy, although the first show in the series isn't scheduled to happen until November.

The four dates -- two at London's 02 Arena (November 25 and 29) and two at Newark, NJ's Prudential Center (December 13 and 15) -- have angered fans with their shockingly high ticket prices.

Tickets for the London shows range from $172 to a staggering $650. However, despite this, eager fans bought up all the available tickets in just seven minutes. When you've sold over 200 million records, it seems you can just charge anything you want!
